I suggest you change it to something less offensive. I am certain you would’t do the same if it involves wines related to Muslims or Jews; they make wine too, Turkey and Israel.
Just a suggestion.
Amc.

“bread alone makes it possible to receive all the fruit of the Eucharistic grace.”

For those who are just stumbling on this post, I run a series of news items called “SIPPED and SPIT.” In this item, wine was “spit” because it was rejected from Mass in Phoenix.

Wine and the Church have a long, intertwined history. It’s too bad that this diocese is seeking to undo that a little. It will be interesting to see if other churches in the US follow suit.

I think there’s probably an interesting story in sacramental wine used in the US today. If anyone has any industry or ecclesiastical backstory–or interesting vignettes from their parish–I, for one, would be interested in hearing more.

It used to be that Communion was only the wafer and only the priest had wine during the service.
So the proposed change will not offend the older members. It must might be really due to $cutbacks rather than new improved interpretations of the bible.

I think most Catholics will (or should) be offended by this bishop.

Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:59:10 +0000http://www.drvino.com/?p=9685#comment-353034As a Catholic, I’m guessing that the Bishop’s announcement only means that consecrated wine will not be distributed at Mass. Wine will still be consecrated at the altar.

By the way, the phrase “Holy SPIT” looks/sounds really bad in this context. I don’t think you meant any harm, but some Catholics will be offended.

Of course to each his own on a personal blog, but this has the potential to fan some flames better hosed down elsewhere.
